Implementing a Read Setup Burst Command in 3d NAND Flash Memory to Reduce Voltage Threshold Deviation Over Time

2. The memory of claim 1, wherein the set of read setup blocks consists of sequential blocks.

3. The memory of claim 2, wherein the number represents a number of the sequential read setup blocks and wherein the read setup burst operation includes performing read setup operations on the sequential read setup blocks of the set of read setup blocks starting from the first read setup block, as identified from the address included in the read setup burst command and continuing in sequential order of the sequential read setup blocks until a number of sequential read setup blocks that have had read setup operations performed thereon equals the number, as identified in the read setup burst command.

9. The memory of claim 1, wherein the plurality of read setup blocks of the set of read setup blocks are identified in dependence upon their recent use, independent of future read operations.

10. The memory of claim 6, wherein the read setup list is generated from a least recently used (LRU) queue that identifies blocks of the memory in dependence upon their use and wherein the read setup list is generated to identify candidate read setup blocks from the LRU queue that have not been accessed for a period of time that exceeds a predetermined threshold.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the set of read setup blocks consists of sequential blocks.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the number represents a number of the sequential read setup blocks and wherein the read setup burst operation includes performing read setup operations on the sequential read setup blocks starting from the first read setup block, as identified from the address included in the read setup burst command, and continuing in sequential order of the sequential read setup blocks until a number of sequential read setup blocks that have had read setup operations performed thereon equals the number, as identified in the read setup burst command.

19. The method of claim 12, further comprising maintaining a read setup list of candidate read setup blocks in memory, and wherein the set of read setup blocks includes candidate read setup blocks in the read setup list.
